Japan's Coast Guard has found a third man from the freighter who went missing during Typhoon Maysak, according to a Coast Guard news release.

A 30-year-old Filipino named Jay-Nel Rosals was found two kilometers from Kodakara Island on Friday afternoon, the Coast Guard said.

At around 4 p.m. local time, a patrol boat found him floating in a life raft and took him to the hospital.

The Coast Guard said he is alive, walking and talking.

The Coast Guard also said the second man who was rescued Friday morning died.

At 4:11 pm, rescuers located a lifeboat 4 km east of Kodakara Island;

it was empty.

The Japan Coast Guard added that they found an oil spill about 150 kilometers from Amami Oshima Island.

A patrol boat rescued him after receiving a call alerting the Coast Guard of a lifeboat floating at sea.

Someone on the shore saw it.

A lone Filipino sailor was rescued Wednesday night, after more than half a day in the water.

It was in good condition, the Coast Guard said.

The Coast Guard also found the body of a cow near Amami Oshima Island on Friday.

According to the Coast Guard, the search and rescue operation is ongoing and no other cow carcasses have been found.

The area in the East China Sea was being hit by the powerful typhoon, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane with winds of at least 460 km / h, when the ship disappeared.

The 133.6-meter-long ship, manned by 39 Filipinos, two New Zealanders and two Australians, was sailing from Napier, New Zealand, to Tangshan, China, according to authorities in Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

The Panamanian-flagged ship set sail from New Zealand on August 17 with a cargo of more than 5,800 cows, according to the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the rescued sailor was Filipino, adding that its consulate general in Osaka was monitoring the situation and coordinating with the Japanese Coast Guard, which was launching a second search and rescue mission.

  24 hours later, 4 crew members are still missing

A second storm in the region, Typhoon Haishen, is expected to strengthen to the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane by the end of the week.

It is expected to threaten Kyushu on Sunday and potentially affect the Korean peninsula on Monday.

Japan's meteorological agency warns that the storm could be the third largest to hit the country since records began nearly 70 years ago.

A New Zealand animal rights group said the Gulf Livestock 1 incident illustrates why the export of live animals should not be allowed.

These cows should never have been in the sea.

To make matters worse, they are probably all pregnant, "said Marianne Macdonald, campaign manager for animal rights group SAFE NZ.

“This is a real crisis, and our thoughts are with the families of the 43 crew members who are missing with the ship.

But questions remain, including why this trade is allowed to continue, "Macdonald said in a statement.
